I went on this trip because I flew from Frankfurt airport and everything went as expected. The atmosphere was great as I took a look out the window and it was very quiet on the train, the staff were very nice and my orders were delivered quickly and my food was very tasty and good value. The wifi was good despite using a lot of people. I was also always informed where I was at the moment. The toilets and the train were very clean. Greetings go out to the nice staff. Besides, this was my outward journey.

The journey from Düsseldorf to Frankfurt went super and was super fast. The service in the morning was super relaxed and directly offered a coffee, which tasted very good. The service staff were also very nice and immediately put us in a good mood. We arrived in Frankfurt on time and had no problems at all on the entire journey. The seat was clean and the table had been cleaned beforehand. The internet also worked great throughout the journey and was perfectly adequate for surfing the web. The price was a bit expensive for the fact that you are travelling quite a short distance.

The journey takes about an hour. The train departs on time and you don't have to change trains. My nephew travelled in 2nd class. He had free wifi and a power socket at his seat. The compartment was clean, as were the seats. The staff were friendly and helpful. We booked the ticket online without any problems, it was easy and quick. There is also an on-board restaurant on the train, the food is tasty but not exactly cheap.
